Mists of Uncertainty

In this corporeal existence

descends a part of sentience.

A ray of the metaphysical world

comes here for the experience.

 

The one who seems to be born free

finds a world that is eager to lead.

Happy to have one more of their kind

and train him to be one in their stead.

 

He looks around with wonder,

gazing all around he could see.

Stowing experiences in his mind

oblivious, merrily chasing his glee.

 

Incidentally, he comes across

compromises and conditions.

He discovers his glee trapped

in varied customs and traditions.

 

He glances at the horizon

and remembers his freedom,

By contemplating in his mind

he gains insights and wisdom.

 

Distraught by the world so unfair,

he screams against this regime.

His heart grateful for its support

but also wants to follow its dream.

 

We all have something of our own,

something unique, diverse and rare.

We have wants, desires and dreams

and to accomplish them, we care.

 

Social conditioning makes us feel

pain, attachment, fear and guilt.

Such frustrating emotions act

like the walls they were built.

 

A thinker always finds a solution

to break free of such a construct.

He lets the flight of imagination

find the right code of conduct.

 

To achieve a desire or a dream,

we spontaneously tend to move.

The mists of uncertainty

bog us back in the groove.

 

The fear of the unknown

frightens us to the core.

The pain of parting with known

makes the effort go sour.

 

Which is worth the risk,

things that you possess,

or something still unknown,

something more of a guess?

 

Let's choose our desires wisely,

based on a code that we found.

Those of Citius - Altius - Fortius

won’t tie us into a merry-go-round.

 

Let’s be brave to face risks

and venture beyond these walls.

To face the mists of uncertainty

and learn to overcome the falls.

 

A guide through the uncertainty

to reach the desires we pursue,

is a notion of following  the good

from a foundation that is true.
